The festive period is finally upon us, and what better time is there to kick back on the sofa and work through your watch list? As usual, too, this Christmas is jam-packed full of great new releases on streaming, meaning that there will be plenty to keep you occupied after stuffing yourself with turkey. Among the highlights are a festive Doctor Who special to kick off Ncuti Gatwa's season as the Time Lord as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder's hugely-anticipated new sci-fi adventure, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rebel Moon Part One. 

Some recent big releases are also heading to streaming this festive period, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Creator and Saltburn.

Zack Snyder's space opera is the legendary DC director's answer to Star Wars. Based loosely on his old pitch for a galaxy far, far away, the fantasy epic is set in a universe governed by the brutal Motherworld. When its military – known as the Imperium – threatens a farming community on the moon Veldt, a young woman sets out on a quest to take them down. Her journey sends her across the galaxy to recruit warriors to help her mission. Sofia Boutella leads the cast as Kora, alongside Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Ray Fisher, and Anthony Hopkins. If that wasn't enough either, Snyder already has a directorꦛs' cut and sequel ready to go in 2024...

The Tourist season 2

Available: UK on January 1
Watch now: BBC

Jamie Dornan returns 𓂃for The Tourist season 2 on New Year's Day, though UK fans expecting to see the bright sunshine of Australia's outback might be disappointed, because this time, the action takes place in Ireland. 

The second chapter sees Dornan's Elliot return to 🌄his homeland alongside Constable Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald), as he tries to rediscover his roots. Before long, though, the pair get "dragged into the dangerous whirlwind of his past life and are confronted by fr🌠iends and foes both old and new."

If the NYE plans were a little too wild, and you plan on recuperating on the sofa for the whole day, the BBC has got you covered, too, with all six episodes set 𒁃to land on iPlayer at once. Hallelujah, hangover cure! US viewers will have to wait a little longer for this one, however, as it arrives on Netflix in February 2024.
